Liverpool, the box midfield and where Dominik Szoboszlai fits in next season
New York TimesThere were two key questions around Liverpool’s midfield rebuild this summer: which players would comprise it, and which formation was the club buying for? Playing in a box midfield will not be new to Szoboszlai as he operated on the right side of Marco Rose’s 4-2-2-2 for Leipzig in 2022-23. GO DEEPER Dominik Szoboszlai: The versatile technician who could be perfect for Liverpool Henderson did not score and delivered just three assists in 43 appearances in all competitions, which pales next to Szoboszlai’s 10 goals and 13 assists in 46 appearances. Despite Szoboszlai frequently playing as a right midfielder in a 4-2-2-2 or a 4-2-3-1 for Leipzig last season, you wouldn’t label him as an out-and-out winger. He averaged 5.5 shot-creating actions per 90 minutes — the two offensive actions directly leading to a shot, such as passes, take-ons and drawing fouls — which was the highest in the Leipzig squad and significantly higher than any of Liverpool’s players in the Premier League last season with Harvey Elliott, Salah and Alexander-Arnold making up the top three.
